@Otis Sutton I really do think the word "mentor" could be attached to many people, all of whom could assist you in growth as an entrepreneur, real estate industry participant, marketer, negotiator and leader.

This eventually ended the partnership but I learned that sometimes you can't assume what the other person is expecting when it comes to profit and growth.

I'm not an expert, but in my view, small towns with relatively no industry or large employment base do not typically experience any significant growth.

You need some equity growth built in with your properties. 

But they are all in different sub markets so no competition for buyers between them.We are going to go at it hard for the next 24 months then see were it all shakes out.Our market was a 10,000 door per year growth market in new construction from 1990 until 2008 with 30% of those being multi family...

Perhaps it's pregnancy hormones that have me feeling a certain way about this, but I am absolutely floored.

Strong growth is forecast and I greatly value the ability to drive by my houses on my way home from the office.You are compiling a lot of good data that can assist you in your strategy, but don't get too focused on creating a perfect process.In Texas, we have a saying we like to use; kiss it.

They've been around for 15 years and while they still constitute a small fraction of real-estate transactions, a court ruling in the past 2 (maybe 3 now) years opened the door for them to have access to the MLS system for their listings and has accelerated their growth.

My husband and I are learning everything we can about passive income, one thing about the real estate attracts us the most is the less volatility and historically increased growth.
